US punk pop band blacklisted from venue as singer fly-kicks selfie-taking female fan

A US punk rock singer with a habit for attacking his fans from behind is being subjected to a stream of online threats after he fly-kicked a female fan off the stage at a gig in Canada on the weekend.

Parker Cannon, the heavily-inked frontman for Californian punk pop outfit The Story So Far managed to get his band blacklisted from the Toronto Mod Club after he brutally blindsided the young woman, who had climbed onto the stage.

As the band cranked out another tune based around the exceedingly well-worn "sensitive female chord progression", the young woman hauled herself up into the bright lights and appeared to be in the process of taking a selfie.

Cannon apparently took the interruption as a cue to test out his karate moves, and launched the youngster face first into the crowd with a flying kick – something he has been known to do before, as the video immediately above shows.

Needless to say, his actions have earned him the scorn and hatred
of not only the alternative music press as well as scores of punters, many of whom saw fit to detail just what they'd like to do to Cannon given half the chance.

That chance won't present itself at the Mod Club again, with manager Jorge Dias readily damning Cannon as he barred the band from playing the venue again.

"We are appalled by the actions of the singer," Mr Dias told CBC . "That was a very cowardly act.”

Not everyone agrees, however, with a sizeable number of fans defending the singer's "right" to "defend" his stage. Even the YouTube caption on the video of the kick, which has been viewed some 520,000 times, suggests that viewers "stop being so sensitive about this".

Neither Cannon nor the band appears to have made any effort to apologise to the girl, whose identity has not been made public.
